pgadmin4 crashes on launch

Hey, I've been using pgadmin4 to manage my postgres databases for a while, but ever since I reinstalled arch pgadmin4 has been crashing everytime it starts with this error:

Python path:  ""
Python Home:  "/usr/lib/pgadmin4/venv"
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'
Current thread 0x00007ff0be55c880 (most recent call first):
[1]    11680 abort (core dumped)  pgadmin4

I've tried reinstalling it, and deleting the venv directory and restarting pgadmin4, but it still crashes, the web version however, works perfectly fine, but it's rather annoying to use.

Re: pgadmin4 crashes on launch

I have opened a bug report for the package, but out of curiosity does pgadmin4 work for anyone else after the upgrade to 1.6?

I'm simply presented with this error, on both of my machines:

[gregory@seneca ~]$ pgadmin4
Python path: ""
Python Home: "/usr/lib/pgadmin4/venv"
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

For now a downgrade works.

Re: pgadmin4 crashes on launch

Just confirming that I'm also getting the issue. I do remember the version before this one worked for me.

$ pgadmin4
Python path:  ""
Python Home:  "/usr/lib/pgadmin4/venv"
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'
